Sorry uv resin not epoxy

[corsican dave]

beat me to it Andy  :lol:; i was just about to say "have you tried resin?" along the same lines, have you tried silicone? i haven't 'cos it just seems so messy. i suspect uv resin is a better option anyway...

[rannoch raider]

I thought that was one of your Inchlaggan trout flies Andy !

[Lochan_load]

It is! Size 2   hooked but sadly lost my best fish up there with a fly the same as this minus the resin. Never tried silicon dave but it does sound messy, the hardness of the resin might be an issue with hook ups, silicon might help with that.

Elkzilla Size 10 Partridge fine wire barbless.  Not a hook I'd use in New Zealand.

Some mini lures for the estuary. All synthetic material, size 10 and size 12 hooks, all barbless.  I used up some of the silver  Kamazan "Animal" carp / barbel hooks I have had lying around for some time.

My kind of flies Pete. I use big terrestrials very often.

[pedropete]

im glad to hear that, when you say big!! how big?? these ones are quite small.

[Wildfisher]

Size 8 or bigger.  This is a 10. Long legs don't do any harm either. Sometimes they want them big, sometimes not. It's good to have a mix of sizes in your box.
